The watercolor and pastel strokes and pastels blend seamlessly, capturing vulnerability and introspection. Amidst the whispering leaves of an ancient oak, a solitary squirrel finds herself self-reflecting. Its tiny paws, press against her cheeks, concealing her eyes. The world beyond blurs into soft blues. In this moment of quietude, the squirrel reflects upon its journey—the tokens gathered, the leaps taken, the storms weathered. Shadows dance across the squirrel's fur, hinting at hidden thoughts.
